Color Coded Bumper replacment - Looks much better!!
 
I replaced the original black rubber bumperettes with a colored pair (Arctic silver) on my 1997 car. They look so much better, makes the car look newer and more premium. This is one of the best upgrade I have done yet......Got them from Bumperplugs.com.

Cars starting to look good, a few subtle upgrades have made a big difference......http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1353786236.jpg

Very nice. Really improves the look of the back! Think I may add those to my Christmas list!

You need to get the 9x7 shifter assembly next... another must have upgrade.

The cost is free, since the value far exceeds the price.:)








$249 with a core exchange.

Bumperplugs is one of the very best vendors to the Porsche community. Great work quality and customer service.

Sounds good to me 4sure.

Sounds like a very profitable business to me if all they are doing is respraying the cores, if I owned a body shop I'd jump right on that gravy train! Think about it, no glass or metal prep work and huge profits from each customer, why it's nearly as good as when Kodak sold the cutting scraps from medical film rolls as Dental film packs, it was rainin money...

What do the bumper plugs actually do performance wise?

I heard rumors that Jude Law was living in Connecticut.

Dgrange 11-26-2012 04:44 PM

Haha - well I am English so I guess me and Jude do have something in common!!

PS - what's a 9X7 shifter assembly?

Bumper plugs is the name of the company that resprays the bumperettes. They got started by selling front bumper plugs for owners who removed their license plate brackets and had holes to fill.

Neither their front bumper plugs or rear bumperette painting does much for performance, but it make the owner feel as if his car is much newer!
